Court records show Shawnee Mayor Michelle Distler, 47, has been charged with felony perjury.
Distler was released Wednesday on a $2,500 bond. The criminal complaint alleges she made the false statement on March 7. Distler has served as mayor of Shawnee, Kansas, since 2015.
She did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Online court records do not indicate a defense attorney in the case.
